[www.keralites.net] Photo Realistic Sculpture.

 

Evan Penny

Age spots, wrinkles, and every detail of a face are featured in the work of Toronto artist Evan Penny. He generally produces head-and-shoulders busts larger than life size, and implants each hair one strand at a time while creating his sculptures. Like Mueck, Penny has an extensive background in special effects for film, and his effects have been featured in X-Men and Johnny Mnemonic.

Jamie Salmon

Vancouver sculptor Jamie Salmon uses human hair to help accentuate his photorealistic sculptures.. Together with fellow artist Jackie K. Seo, they form Avatar Sculpture Works. Salmon uses a complex, multi-stage process to create each piece that can take weeks to months to achieve the realistic details that he is known for.

Duane Hanson

Hanson was one of the pioneers of photorealistic sculpture.. After acheiving a Masters of Fine Arts and teaching high school art, he created his first photorealistic sculpture in 1966. He specialized in horrific tableaus, such as his first work, Hanson's Abortion, which documented a "backroom" abortion. He started producing more simplistic, single-

person sculptures in the 1970's.

Sam Jinks

Australian sculptor Sam Jinks creates hyperrealistic sculptures from silicone. He too has been a film and television special effects wizard for 11 years, having spent the last 5 years primarily on his own art. His works feature oddities such as a fox's head on a man's body and a man hanging by the armpits on pegs. He names renaissance artists such as Bosch as his inspiration.

 

Ron Mueck

Ron Mueck is one of the premier names in the photorealistic sculpture field. He used some of his talent to create visual effects for the 1986 movie Labyrinth.

After that he opened up a studio to produce visual effects for the advertising industry, which he was successful at for some time. In 1996 he transitioned completely into fine art, devoting all of his time to photorealistic sculpture. He is best known for faithfully reproducing all aspects of the human body in either a larger or smaller than life scale. His work has been featured in art galleries all over the world, including the Tate in London .

--
Have a wonderful Life with infinite happiness, love, and peace. May all your dreams come true.
Love is from the infinite, and will remain until eternity.
The seeker of love escapes the chains of birth and death.
Tomorrow, when resurrection comes,
The heart that is not in love will fail the test.
RUMI
